About This Quiz

There are many ways that the United States can be divided. This includes cities, states, and more. America is commonly divided into a few regions, each with its own characteristic geography, foods, cultures, and characteristics.

For example, the New England region is known for its lighthouses, rocky beaches, seafood, frigid winters, and high concentration of wealthy Americans. The Pacific Coastal region, on the other hand, runs from Washington to California and is known for its down-to-earth outdoorsy way of life, a famous active volcano, and the place of several famous cities. It encompasses the glitz of the Los Angeles entertainment business and the off-beat modern counterculture hub of Portland, Oregon.

Each region has its famous icons, myths, stereotypes, and characteristics that make it unique. Are you as busy and bustling as the cities of Chicago and New York City? Or are you as rugged as the landscapes of the American west? Do you crave a bowl of clam chowder on cold winter nights as you cozy up by the first, or do you prefer to sunbathe on the beach year round? If you want to know which region of the US is most like your temperament, give this quiz a spin!
